R.I.P. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
I’m sorry to have never had the opportunity to meet Dwana who obviously was such an amazing person and who had such an incredible family and legacy. Being a fan and a follower of her amazing father I wish nothing but the best for her family and may she truly rest in peace in the loving arms of God the father.
MAY THE LORD TAKE CARE OF DWANA. FATHER BUFORD PUSSER WAS A TRUE AMERICAN HERO. OUR COUNTRY WOULD HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE BUFORD AS PRESIDENT OF OUR NATION . INSTEAD HE IS MURDERED AND SCUM LIKE JOHNSON/NIXON/THE BUSHES/CLINTON/OBAMA & PRO ZIONIST TRUMP ARE ELECTED THRU CORRUPTION.
I’am deeply saddened to just now learn of Dwana’s passing. I and my son had the honor of meeting her many years ago at the annual Festival honoring her heroic father and family which we always intended to attend again, paying our respects and visiting Dwana at least once more. Our deepest heartfelt condolences to the family of Dwana whose brave father made a lasting and forever impression on this NJ boy in the 60’s now TN man since 1990!
NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS THIS . I WAS SHOCKED TO JUST SEE THIS. I NEVER HAVE BEEN TO THE MUSEUM , BUT HAVE FOLLOW THERE LIFE FOR YEARS. R.I.P DWANA, AS YOUR FATHER STANDS TALL FOR YOUR MOTHER, HE STANDS NOW WITH ARMS AROUND YOU & WIFE ,MOTHER PAULINE . REST IN PEACE ” THE WALKING TALL GANG. “”
